Fair enough, a "potential decline in oil consumption of 90%". I get that. I accept that. It is a potential though; based upon existing technology. The oil and gas industry will be impacted (perhaps severely), but will it be a 90% impact? I doubt it. Few people have ever been able to predict the future. (Xerox failed, IBM failed, Yahoo failed, etc. - AT&T did a good job with "You Will" - Think it was a research firm that did it for AT&T.) Don't fall into the trap of thinking one knows how it will all play out. Odds are it will not play out like one thinks it will. The same technological advances that are removing industries are creating other industries. I just think the oil can be used for much more interesting things. 3D printing is really in its infancy right now. https://all3dp.com/biggest-3d-printers-world/ Imagine being able to print out whatever you want, including buildings and having them perfect. (not some nailed together wood done in a rush that has tons of joints where problems may arise) Raw material (oil) will be needed to do that. (unless of course there is other material to use, but it will have to be refined and oil & gas companies know all about that)
Now the employment of people is the other thing. Technology should make things cheaper and better. (cheaper either in initial price and/or the cost of maintenance) Fewer people will need to work and/or work fewer hours because things are cheaper and better. There was a time before there were two-income households. We could cut back to that without a huge disruption. An equilibrium will likely develop. If there is no income, there will be no consumers. Basic income may also be needed.
On a more funny note, those convenience stores had better well have some damn good restrooms like they have at Buc-ee's. Otherwise, why stop? The car is doing the driving. You're free to eat whatever you brought or simply sleep through the trip.
